I got really excited today because I bought PSM3 magazine and on the coverit said 'FFVII on PS3' !But what they were saying was that you could download the old FFVII onto yourPS3, but it does only cost £7.99 from the PSN store which is good value ifyou have never played it before !

Yo! I'm also an FF fan! I literally grew up with it! I played and finished FF VII, VIII, IX, X, FFX-2 (although I didn't get the perfect ending, still planning on doing that..) and played FFXII till the part just before the final battle. (I got busy and never finished it! Again, still planning on doing that.. ) Couldn't play the current FF's cause I don't have a PS3.. =(

I don't own a PS3 too, so I haven't played FFXIII. Currently playing FF Dissidia 012 on my PSP, just started though.

Just wanna say I like Crisis Core and the Dissidia series as well. Yes, it is not the familiar FF style, but they are fun to play nonetheless.

As for the FFVII remake, I personally think it may actually happen. Why? Cuz SE has been capitalizing on the previous titles a lot. That never really occur before SE was formed. ( Think Dissidia and Crisis Core etc). Not saying this is anything bad, just saying it appears to be the trend.

Well, at least we are sure that they already did a proper remake of an FF game; FFIV. But, that was released on a handheld, and as far as I know, SE has not yet released an FF remake on any console (correct me if I'm wrong). But, I sure hope too that they release an FFVII remake on the PS3/etc. I could just imagine a proportional lifelike Cloud like on the movies (Tifa anyone? ) walking on a vast environment like a super huge sprawling Midgar, complete with people and futuristic cars *gasp*. And, the fight sfx should be as flashy as Advent but say, turn based. That would be nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

I guess you have a point. But that wouldn't be a bad thing right? And now, thinking of it, it would certainly feel a lot different (besides the graphics etc.) than the the original when you think that it would be way more realistic.. (I'm currently imagining what would Honey Bee Inn look like and.. wow.. and the part where you meet "merry men"? It would be like..

They actually did it a lot of times. With Final Fantasy Origins and all those other PSX remakes and repackages. I'm happy SH has a lot of FF lovers also looking forward to an FFVII remake. As for the rating though... It doesn't have to be mature. Unless SQEX wants it to be, which would either make or break Cloud's fanbase (depends on how they design him in 3D GIRL rendering).

@Squall: (wow, your name is Squall! ) I have the same situation man.. I really want to play the FFXIII onwards but can't afford a new console..

@topic: I really have nothing against the newer ones in the series to be different in terms of gameplay etc. Yes, I miss the old games but that's life. We change and so does our games. And btw I like FFXII! Even though it was diff. it was still a cool game on its own.

The one thing I really hope is that Square Enix will create an FF that has two versions, one with a new style battle system and one with an old school one (maybe say, turned based with a little innovation?) I think that would be so cool and caters to us "old" FF fans..

DUL7, FF XIII wasn't very good in my opinion. Graphically impressive and the battles are fun, but there's a feel of it being an unfinished product. It's really unfortunate because I found the story interesting and the characters compelling.

^ hmmm.. I haven't played that so I don't know.. Maybe you thought I said FFXIII? It was "FFXII!". FFXII with (!). But anyways thanks for the opinion, I really hope I can play FFXIII one day.. Uhmm, what do you think of FFXII? Oh and you can call me Dul.

For me it was fun and the large amounts of side-quests imo made the game so much better to play. The story was fantastic, the graphics (at time of release) was good and the battle system was interesting, chalenging and compelling. I guess the only drawbacks I could think of was the short "main storyline" (but the side-quests make up for it imo) and the characters weren't as interesting as say FFVIII (although FXII's were okay, just not on par with the previous games imo..).

@DUL7I have to agree with you about XII, even though we had a bunnygirl 'Fran' I still did not find the characters that interesting and it only took me 2 weeks to complete, the quickest FF yet !

I have to agree with Belz about XIII, my daughter and I bought a PS3 just so we could play it but we were disappointed with it, it was more like a fighting game than an RPG, just endless battles and the game makes you go one way all the time, you cannot wander off and explore like in the other games.Which is a shame as like Belz I found the story and characters much more interesting than XII !

@tonymiller and belz i have to agree with you two... even though the gestalt mode was quite fun.. but it take many battles... there is one that so long..(the battle times..) there was even a super duper hard boss... it's so frustrating

Every FF game has something good and something bad. Personally, here are things I think that are negatives. FFI got me not knowing what to do next a lot, FFII has this crazy leveling system that took me a long time to understand, FFIII had lame Onion Knight clone characters, FFIV I can't really say what was bad about it (I enjoyed it a lot), FFV had BUTZ (sorry). FFVI had this unevenly difficult final act, FFVII's story was convoluted, FFVIII's draw system made it a piece of cake to beat, FFIX had a story that I found childish (again, sorry), FFX had FFX-2 (btw, who has played X-2 here?). FFXI was very time-consuming (patches). FFXII had LARSA. FFXIII... you pointed out the negatives already. Don't get me started with FFXIV.

^ wow.. you played a lot of FF games and being only 16! Me --> jealous..

I agree with your opinion about FF and FFVIII (although I don't think it's such a negative aspect of it, and imo FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, FFX-2 and FFXII are all easy to play if you allow yourself to take advantage of it's certain "traits"..)

and yes, as I have stated, I have played FFX-2.. and imo it wasn't so bad.. it's a good game on it's own.. my only complaint about it is I'm just not used to only 3 characters in an FF game..

Larsa was cool man! but I respect your opinion..and FFIX is one of the most memorable FF games for me.. It doesn't bother me about the child-ish story.. (well, maybe because I grew up on watching Disney movies and drinking Nido and Milo, lol)

YAY i love FF

i played FF7 but i only until the end of disc 1. i never had the disc's 2 &3 bcause i only borrowed the disc 1 XDD

i completed FFVIII & FFIX though and FFVII crisis core and dirge of cerberus. I played FF Dissidia. Cloud was my favorite character! i also repeatedly watched Advent children. and the anime where denzel tells his story. XDD

i think it's obvious that i'm an FFVII fan, a remake would be good, but i doubt i can play it though (PS3 out of reach . but i've always wanted to play FFX & X-2 but i don't have the console.

is there a way to play FFX on PC? i really wanna know, because i'm planning to play FFVII on pc.

@guueenThat is so sad that you only played FFVII to the end of disc 1, you missed so much cool stuff !If you have a PS3 you can download FFVII for a tiny amount of money but of course you need a PS3 !I have heard you can get FF for the PC but I have never seen it in England, look it up on the internet !

@guueen: For FFX and anything PS2-related, you can try emulators but it would be complicated if you haven't tried emulators in the past and it also has a little high system requirements. If you're really interested, check this site.
